Do the teachings of Jesus Christ condemn the accumulation of wealth while pushing for the equal distribution of resources? Lawrence Reed, president of the Foundation for Economic Education, explains the misconceptions surrounding Jesus teachings Great video, thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This should have been posted with the other post from a few months back that asked the same question. I too have seen this video, and it's accurate. Jesus Christ definitely would not be supporting Socialism today or Communism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ definitely would not be supporting Socialism today or Communism. exactly, never once did Jesus ever say "Take your wealth and distribute it equally among all of the villagers that did nothing to earn it." However, he encouraged the rich to not hold their wealth in high regard and to use it to HELP THE POOR, FEED THE HUNGRY, HELP THE NEEDY. He did tell a man that coveted his possessions to give it all up and follow Christ. That's not socialism... that was Jesus encouraging him to give up his god and worship and obey the one and only God. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This young man's idol was wealth and possessions whereas for others their idol could be totally something different. As you said, the point was to only follow God no matter what we need to give up.

Hagar Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I’m still trying to figure out what freaking fracking has to do with Jesus not being a Socialist. Maybe because it’s late, and this old man needs to go to bed? I’ll sleep on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sort of amazing that someone thinks they're God, and they're a liberal that thinks they understand God and what He has told us in the Scriptures.

DannyZuco Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just watching the highlights for the Deblasio/Hannity conversation last night. I have to ask my liberal friends one simple question. What is a rich person's "FAIR SHARE"? I would for some to at least give a percentage of one's income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe everyone should pay a flat rate and “Uncle Sugar” needs to learn to live within a budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
